City police officer Jeremy Updike is promoted to investigator when he is put in charge of a brutal case. What starts as an apparent suicide quickly spirals into something he could have never imagined. Thrust into events that he could not have foreseen, he must quickly adapt to a danger more nefarious and far-reaching than normal human deeds, requiring dedication and willpower that few have to face. In the darkness is something that would tear the soul from everything it touches. It is here.
